QUESTION 1

We want to solve,

$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x^{2}-6x+8}$

We factor the denominator of the fraction on the right hand side to get,

$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x^{2}-4x - 2x+8}.$

This implies
$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x(x-4) - 2(x - 4)}.$

$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{(x-4)(x - 2)}$

We multiply through by LCM of
$(x-4)(x - 2)$

$(x - 2) + x(x-4) = 2$

We expand to get,

$x - 2 + {x}^{2} - 4x= 2$

We group like terms and equate everything to zero,

${x}^{2} + x - 4x - 2 - 2 = 0$

We split the middle term,

${x}^{2} + - 3x - 4 = 0$

We factor to get,

${x}^{2} + x - 4x- 4 = 0$

$x(x + 1) - 4(x + 1) = 0$

$(x + 1)(x - 4) = 0$

$x + 1 = 0 \: or \: x - 4 = 0$

$x = - 1 \: or \: x = 4$

But
$x = 4$
is not in the domain of the given equation.

It is an extraneous solution.

$\therefore \: x = - 1$
is the only solution.

QUESTION 2

$\sqrt{x+11} -x=-1$

We add x to both sides,

$\sqrt{x+11} =x-1$

We square both sides,

$x + 11 = (x - 1)^{2}$

We expand to get,

$x + 11 = {x}^{2} - 2x + 1$

This implies,

${x}^{2} - 3x - 10 = 0$

We solve this quadratic equation by factorization,

${x}^{2} - 5x + 2x - 10 = 0$

$x(x - 5) + 2(x - 5) = 0$

$(x + 2)(x - 5) = 0$

$x + 2 = 0 \: or \: x - 5 = 0$

$x = - 2 \: or \: x = 5$

But
$x = - 2$
is an extraneous solution

$\therefore \: x = 5$

⦁ It was estimated that 280 people were going to vote. If this was true, how many people would have voted for Goron? Show your w

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Goron should get 98 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

The question breaks down to taking 35% of 280.

Votes = 35/100 * 280 = people who will vote for Goron

Votes = 9800 / 100 = people who will vote for Goron.

Votes = 98

Use the side-splitter theorem to solve for x in the triangle below.<br> 21<br> 42

alexandr1967 [171]

x = 8

Solution:

Side-splitter theorem:

<em>If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and the line intersects the other two sides, then this line divides those two sides proportionally.</em>

$$\Rightarrow\frac{4}{21} =\frac{x}{42}$

Do cross multiplication, we get

⇒ 4 × 42 = 21x

Divide by 21 on both sides, we get

⇒ 4 × 2 = x

⇒ 8 = x

Switch the sides.

⇒ x = 8

The value of x is 8.
